New Piranha Press Brakes, Shears and Ironworkers

Piranha

Based in Hutchinson, Kansas and long recognized as the Number One brand of ironworkers, Piranha has rapidly become a major producer and distributor of press brakes and shears. The same philosophy of efficient design, superb engineering, quality production, and outstanding customer service is carried across all Piranha brand products. Like our ironworkers, all machines in our complete line of metal fabrication equipment are simple in design, heavy in construction, and outfitted with efficient and safe operator features. We believe in continuous improvement and are dedicated to providing our customers with products that increase their productivity and profitability.

The Piranha Press Brake Difference

The difference is in the design. Piranha's Fabrication Series Press Brakes combine a heavy-duty mechanical linkage system with Piranha's exclusive Preloaded Ram System to provide optimum bending and punching performance. Full rated tonnage for bending and punching is achievable at any point across the bed. These machines are designed and refined by professional engineers utilizing Finite Element Analysis and solid modeling. With their low deflection and high strength, Piranha press brakes are built to perform.

Self Lubricating Bearings
Piranha's pivot points are lined with maintenance-free bearings. These state-of-the-art, aerospace bearings provide high load capacity and low friction in the form of a thin-walled sleeve. They are completely non-metallic, require no lubrication, and provide years of maintenance-free service.

Inboard Ram Drive
Piranha's ram drive links are mounted between the "C" frames. This mounting increases the ram strength and minimizes ram deflection.

Full Length Gibs
Extra-long, hardened and ground ways are mounted on the massive Piranha "C" frame to provide maximum support and guidance for parallel ram movement. Adjustable gibs ensure the ram is controlled front, back and sides.

Minimal Deflection
Piranha's heavy design and rigid construction provide superior bed, ram, and machine deflection characteristics. This, along with the inboard drive system, allows less beam deflection for more accurate operations. Heavy construction allows ram and bed surfaces to be machined flat to better accommodate multiple tool set ups.

The Piranha Shear Difference

Guillotine design.
Single cylinder linkage system allows constant parallel alignment of beam throughout the shearing movement.
Extra-long, hardened ways, with adjustable non-metallic gibs, guide the ram laterally and front-to-back at all times during the shearing process to increase rigidity, shearing accuracy and blade life.
The straight line shearing action improves shearing accuracy in all metal thicknesses.
All pivot points are lined with maintenance-free bearings. These state-of-the-art, aerospace bearings provide high load capacity and low friction in the form of a thin-walled sleeve. They are non-metallic and require no lubrication.
The upper shear blade moves parallel to the lower blade, providing maximum blade life.
High carbon, high chrome four-edge blades,
top and bottom.
120v controls with overload-protected magnetic motor starter and circuit breaker disconnect.
Hardened, micro-fi
